Product details
Overview
LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-input I²C-controlled power manager and 3.5A LiFePO₄ battery charger in a 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN package. It delivers PowerPath™ instant-on operation, seamless priority-based input multiplexing between USB and wall adapter sources, and USB On-The-Go (OTG) power delivery - enabling system load operation even with deeply discharged batteries.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its I²C-programmable float voltage (3.45V/3.55V/3.6V/3.8V), configurable 100mA–3A input current limits, integrated NTC thermistor ADC for JEITA-compliant charging, and dual-input overvoltage protection with active gate drive outputs (USBGT/WALLGT).
Technical Context
The LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF integrates a high-efficiency step-down switching battery charger (2.25MHz fixed-frequency PWM), dual-input priority multiplexer with independent overvoltage protection circuitry, and bidirectional PowerPath™ control logic. Its I²C interface enables real-time configuration of charge current (up to 3.5A), float voltage, safety timer, recharge threshold, and OTG output current limit.
It features dedicated analog sensing paths: CLPROG1/CLPROG2 for precise VBUS current limiting, CHGSNS/BATSNS for battery charge regulation, and NTC/NTCBIAS for temperature-dependent charge algorithms. The device supports USB suspend mode (2.5mA quiescent), ship-and-store mode (<0.6µA), and automatic transition between battery-powered and input-sourced VOUT regulation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-input power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4162IUFD#TRPBF | Supports Li-ion/LiPo (4.2V float), not LiFePO₄; includes integrated buck-boost for wide-input VOUT; no USBGT/WALLGT outputs | Better suited for single-cell Li-ion systems requiring 2.7–5.5V VOUT; lacks dedicated LiFePO₄ voltage options and dual-OVP gate drives | Select LTC4162IUFD#TRPBF only if migrating from LiFePO₄ to Li-ion and requiring buck-boost VOUT regulation. |
| BQ24650RGER | Standalone 3.5A LiFePO₄ charger (no PowerPath, no dual-input mux, no I²C, no OTG); analog-programmed via resistors | Lower cost for fixed-function charging-only designs; requires external ideal diode or OR-ing controller for dual-input support | Choose BQ24650RGER when system already implements discrete power path logic and I²C configurability is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF, LTC4162IUFD#TRPBF trades LiFePO₄ optimization and dual-OVP gate drivers for wider VOUT flexibility and Li-ion support, while BQ24650RGER offers lower complexity and cost at the expense of configurability, power path integration, and USB OTG capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery charge current for the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF supports up to 3.5A regulated charge current, programmable via I²C command or PROG pin resistor (RPROG = 340Ω yields 3.44–3.70A depending on VFLOAT setting). This value is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range and optimized for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cell chemistry.
Does the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes, the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF provides native USB OTG power delivery: it sources up to 1.4A at 4.75–5.25V from the battery to the VBUS pin without external components. This is enabled via internal step-up regulation and controlled through I²C register settings, with automatic current limiting and thermal protection.
How does the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF handle overvoltage protection on its input pins?
The LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF implements hardware-based overvoltage protection on both WALLSNS and USBSNS inputs, triggering at 6.0V (typical). When exceeded, it pulls USBGT or WALLGT low within 7.2ms to disable external N-MOSFET pass transistors - protecting downstream circuitry without relying on I²C intervention or software response.
Can the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF be used with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries?
The LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF is specifically optimized for LiFePO₄ batteries, with float voltages ranging from 3.45V to 3.80V. While it may physically charge Li-ion cells, its default termination thresholds, recharge voltages, and JEITA profile assumptions are mismatched - using it with Li-ion risks undercharging or premature termination. For Li-ion, consider LTC4162IUFD#TRPBF instead.
What is the purpose of the CLPROG1 and CLPROG2 pins on the LTC4156IUFD#TRPBF?
CLPROG1 and CLPROG2 are independent VBUS current limit programming inputs. CLPROG2 supports USB-compliant modes (100mA/500mA/900mA), while CLPROG1 allows non-USB wall adapter current limits (up to 3A). Both use a 1.2V servo reference and external resistor to set precise input current caps - enabling flexible, application-specific power budgeting without firmware changes.
